3g vs 4g
Abstract
Wireless telecommunication networks have drastically changed in the last few years. With technology advancing, cell phones and other mobile devices have become a part of our everyday functions for businesses and other personal aspects. But also with that advancement, networks such as 3G and 4G have exploded onto the market and competitors such as Verizon and AT&T have led the way in cornering the market with new devices and services. When consumers are in demand of services, they often do not know the benefits, similarities, and differences between 3G vs. 4G networks nor do they understand the capabilities, speeds, compatibilities, and availability of services such as 4G LTE, WiMAX, and WiBro. We will compare and contrast these services as well as explain the reason why competition has become fierce in these markets as well as explain how leaders such as Verizon has become an industry giant of 4G networking.
